Free and cheap dates on Maui
- Sunset at Kamaʻole Beach Parks in Kīhei: easy parking, and public and relaxed.

Before you go
Many beach parks and trails are free, but some state parks charge non-residents for entry or parking, and a few need reservations. Check Hawaiʻi State Parks before you go. Pack out your trash, stay on marked trails, and respect closures.
